Syracuse’s Dion Waiters To Declare For NBA Draft

Waiters says he plans on signing with an agent and calls his two years at Syracuse an “amazing experience.”

Waiters was the second-leading scorer on the Orange, averaging 12.6 points per game despite never starting once during a record-breaking season. Syracuse was ranked either No. 1 or No. 2 since New Year’s Day and made it to the round of eight in the NCAA tournament before losing to Ohio State on Saturday night.

The Orange finished 34-3, with school records for wins in the regular season with 30 as well as the full-season mark, and Waiters was a big reason why. He excelled after a trouble-filled freshman season that nearly led to his departure from the program.
